Hello again, Friends! Like most things in design, there are always guidelines and rules that will ensure an aesthetically pleasing space…Even for the fun stuff; like purchasing art!! LUCKY FOR YOU we have carefully crafted a set of 3 commandments for you to follow religiously (lol) when you’re acquiring these statement pieces. jkdjf Commandment #1: Thou Shall Play With Color: via Motivo Home by Andrea-Noel This piece is from: CHC Art ddk via Motivo Home by Andrea-Noel This piece is from: CHC Art As obvious as it may seem, color is more than integral in the art selection process. Think about how this piece of art will add to/complete your space. Finding a piece of art that employs the color scheme of the room while empowering the space, as opposed to over-powering the space, is ideal. dkf Commandment #2: Thou Shall Know How to Group Art: via Flaunt & Center dfd via My Scandinavian Home Art grouping is all the rage lately and can make for such a complete look. But like our friend Uncle Ben said, “With great art comes great responsibility”, so let’s talk about how to do this right. First off, don’t over-do it. If the space you’re working with is simple and clean, a duo/trio set of pieces works wonderfully. If a more complex look is what you crave, planning a gallery wall is in order. Make sure all pieces selected embody a consistent theme and again, color scheme! kldf Commandment #3: Thou Shall Not Ignore Sizing: via Motivo Home by Andrea-Noel This piece is from: Surya kdfj via Motivo Home by Andrea-Noel This piece is from: Moe’s Home Collection...

Another week in the books!

Happy Thursday!! Like many others, this week was all about back to school for us. Between finding the perfect backpack, meeting the teacher and getting together supplies….things are already getting hectic. We thought we’d take this week to share with you some awesome ideas for a study area in your home! dkfjd Back to School Blues ldfd via Home Bunch This study space is so adorable.

GET THIS LOOK: Poly & Bark dkfjdkj The Pink Peer via Target Target does back to school so well…ALWAYS. This little pink paradise is ideal for studying.
